(Con’t) It matches up with their offices. Rebecca’s office is lighter colors while Rupert is darker. It gives a very Star Wars light versus dark side feel whereas Ted and Richmond are the light and Rupert is the dark in Rebecca’s life.

The eulogy scene. One of my favorites because there is actually SO MUCH to unpack here once again. To start off, let’s focus on Ted being the one to pick Rebecca back up. Just as he’s done in the past. Pay attention to the order of who joins in too. From Ted, to Keeley, to Sam +
